Pakistan has expressed support for draft resolutions presented by both Bahrain and Russia at the United Nations. Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar, stated that Pakistan has also condemned the attacks carried out by the United States and Israel against Iran.
Addressing the United Nations Security Council, Asim Iftikhar said that two Pakistani nationals were killed in Iranian attacks on the United Arab Emirates. He added that the attacks on Iran have put global peace and stability at serious risk.
The Pakistani envoy expressed hope that attacks on the territories of Gulf countries would stop immediately and that the rights and freedoms of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz would not be affected so that tensions in the region do not escalate further.
He said that these countries should not have to face the worst consequences of war and that Pakistan stands in complete solidarity with their governments and people.
Asim Iftikhar further stated that Pakistan views positively the draft resolution presented by the Russian Federation, noting that it has been formulated within the framework of the United Nations Charter.
He explained that the primary objective of the Russian draft resolution is to urge all parties to immediately halt military activities, avoid further escalation, and return to the negotiating table, a stance that aligns with Pakistan’s overall position.
